IMPROVEMENT IN STOVE-LEGS.

Specification forming part of Letters Patent No. 122,126, dated December26, 1871; antedated December 20, 1871.

To all whom it may' concern:

Be it known that I, JAMES T. MLLLIGAN, ofv

of reference marked thereon.

The object of this invention relates to an im- 'proved construction andmanner of securing stove-legs to the bottom plate of stoves, whereby allliability to self-disengagement of parts is prevented and the nature ofthis invention consists in casting the stove-plate with socket-bear ingshaving inclined lugs, and forming the bearing between said lugs, inwhich the legs are in 1 serted with a vertical incline, the shank of thestove-legs being correspondingly inclined to it, all of which will morefully appear.

' To enable those herein skilled to make and use my said invention, Iwill now more fully describe the same, referring to- Figure l as a sideelevation, Fig. 2, as a front elevation, and Fig. 3 as a side sectionalelevation;

The bottom plate A of the stove has cast thereon the projecting lugs B.Said lugs B have proper horizontal inclination toward each other, so asto lprevent the leg-shank C', which is wedge shaped, from moving out ofengagement therel with. The lugs B, furthermore, have their inner sidesbeveled for the reception of the leg-shank C', which is properly beveledto fit. The base portion or projection a of the stove-plate between thelugs B is cast with a vertical inclination, as

shown in Figs. l and 2. The shank O of the stove-leg C has also a propervertical inclinatends to hold or drive the stove-foot more firmly in itsbearing.

Having thus fully described my invention, what I claim, and desire tosecure by Letters Patent, 1s-

Casting the lugs B and the base or projection at between said lugs,which form the socket-bearings of stove-plates with a verticalinclination, to prevent disengagement of stove-legs C, substantially asset forth.

In testimony of said invention I have hereunto set my hand.
